A remarkably shy bird often found foraging in the thick reeds of swampy areas. The bird is smaller than a Pond heron and prefers to remain quiet about its activities. Its calls are rare and sighting is tough due to the camouflage.
I rushed to the area which is right behind my home after my friends spotted 3 of them in the morning. By noon, I could only sight one (I am not good at sighting though). And this one flew around a bit giving me wonderful opportunity to grab a good number of flight shots which I love.
Sighting of its two cousins found in similar areas, the Black and Cinnamon Bittern are prized by birders.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Onion family".
Shot with a Noritsu "38-60 mm F 4-4.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Not the name of the Falls, just the position. Leaving both the top and the bottom of the falls seems to have focused attention on the mid ground. This area is typically part of the narrative and not the story itself. So, I placed it front and center, making it the story.
After all, this is the area of activity. While the top will feed the falls, and the bottom will exit the falls, the mid area is a concentration of activity.

A view across Kianinny Bay from the small pebble beach and old slipway area. Very dull an overcast this day but lots of activity from fishermen and others. Kianinny Bay at Tathra NSW AUS.
Along Sunda Kelapa Harbor you could see Phinisi ships in a line, which have unique shape and the body painted in some different colors. Phinisi ships were coming from many regions of Indonesia, carrying logs, rattan, copra and other agricultural products to Jakarta.
When Phinisi goes back from Jakarta, it carries construction materials like steel and cement. You could see the hectic of loading and unloading activities that is still conducted traditionally at Sunda Kelapa.
CP 3002 leads the J21 south through Golden Valley as they approach the stop sign protected diamond that goes over the UP industrial lead. Still nice to see this GP38 roaming the rails.
On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.

The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.
